Stop promoting hunting

In an "Activities in Adare" sign at Adare Heritage Centre, "hunting" is listed as one of the local activities. Inside the building, a display includes an image of foxhunters and hounds. Please join us in calling on Adare Heritage Centre to remove these and stop encouraging visitors to Adare to take part in a blood sport which causes horrific suffering and death to Irish wildlife.

It is extremely surprising that any modern tourism body would wish to associate the area it promotes with animal cruelty. Hunting is opposed by a majority of Irish citizens and there is no doubt that most visitors, and potential visitors, to Adare would consider hunting to be abhorrent. Adare has so many positive attractions and activities to offer locals and tourists.
